3.0 star star star star_border star_borderLast 2 times I saw her, she passed me off to other physicians. She started out very aggressively trying to find out what was wrong and i guess she felt she pursued all avenues. She said to continue with other kinds of physicians who keep sending me back to her. It's very frustrating.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kausar explained things to my son and me clearly so, we understood the test results and the plan moving forward. She offered options and let us choose what would work best for us. Very satisfied with the visit.

5.0 star star star star starI saw my previous Rheumatologist for eight years before he retired. I trusted him and we had a good patient/doctor relationship so i was hoping for a new doctor that would be a good fit. I have seen Dr. Kausar twice and like her. She gave me good information and was patient with me and my questions.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kausar has always taken excellent care of my mother. Thanks to her diagnosis and prescribed medication, my moms pain is much manageable. I love the way she talks to my mom as if she is her family member.

5.0 star star star star starMy RA is much better since I’ve been seeing her and I am very pleased with her attention to all of my questions and concerns. I also appreciate Terry, her nurse. They both make my visit comfortable and encouraging.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderKausar has not attempted to provide relief for arthritis in spine and lower disc due to nerves being pinched by discs. Pain is 24/7 and restricts ability to function. Constant tiredness also is prevalent causing again limited ability to conduct normal activity.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderI felt rushed. I had a list of symptoms and she didn’t seem interested in hearing any of them. I’m fair skinned so the rash on my face is just pink not red. I offered pictures but she did not seem interested in seeing anything that wasn’t currently present

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
